Remember the following:
>staff occasionally read these generals and have posted here before.
>staff may pretend to be normal users asking for invites and when you invite them, they ban you for inviting strangers
>people may report emails and other personal info posted here to staff to get you banned.
>most of the invite offers here are people trolling you with false hope.
>begging for invites is a waste of time and you should just interview

So what's the consensus on freesync/g-sync? Are they worth it?
If so, which one is better?
freesync support bit less refresh rates but there is no cost to the manufacturers and its an openstandard.
gsync supports bit more refresh rates but there is a huge cost to the manufacturers (which is passed down to you) and its a proprietary.
If you have nothing, go for freesync. Otherwise, choose depending on what your GPU will be and which company you want to support (morally and financially).
Adaptive sync could be extremely helpful in mobile devices to reduce power usage. The benefit to desktops is basically just smoother playback which is nice as long as it doesn't jack the price up by $200
Intel has given their support for freesync (though iirc right now none of their products support it) thus inherently gsync is going to lose as Intel is bigger than both AMD and Nvidia combined.
Why don't you embrace the minimalistic lifestyle?
Sell this useless "high end" desktop if you only play kiddy video games. Sell those overpriced "gaming" peripherals, those "audiophile" headphones, those gimmick 4k monitor.
All you ever need is a trusty Thinkpad running GNU/Linux. Maybe a cheap mouse for faster browsing.

What is your data recovery plan /g/ if your house burns down?
I have two desktop PCs that are used for gaming. PC 1 has:
>Xeon X5650 @ 4 GHz
>AMD R9 270
>6 GB RAM
PC 2 has:
>i5-2500K @ 4 GHz
>GTX 770
> 8 GB RAM
When playing the same game on each of them with identical graphics settings, PC 1 can play at a smooth 60 fps. PC 2 cannot; it drops down to 20-30 fps or worse when things get busy. Both have the latest motherboard chipset drivers, GPU drivers, and BIOSs, yet the stronger PC seems to have FPS issues.
Any ideas where to look for finding the problem, /g/?
>>51823601
>Asymmetric ram
>Memeon kek5650
im still surprised this setup can beat the second one tho
>>51823731
6 GB is triple channel so not asymmetric.
Yes, it makes no sense to me that the faster machine (in terms of IPC and GPU power) has lower FPS.
graphics drivers up to date?
>Copyrighted source code is just as dumb as copyrighted music sheets or copyrighted math theorems
True or false?
false. writing source code is like writing a book and there's copyright on books.
Imo music and code make some sense at least
Math does not
>>51823098
There's nothing wrong with copyrighted source code as a whole, indeed there are no two programs completely the same, the problem lies in copyrighting common parts.

Elon Musk get $1 Billion for AI research, starts OpenAI.
THIS IS THE FUCKING END
https://openai.com/blog/introducing-openai/
>OpenAI is a non-profit artificial intelligence research company. Our goal is to advance digital intelligence in the way that is most likely to benefit humanity as a whole, unconstrained by a need to generate financial return.
>Since our research is free from financial obligations, we can better focus on a positive human impact. We believe AI should be an extension of individual human wills and, in the spirit of liberty, as broadly and evenly distributed as is possible safely.
>The outcome of this venture is uncertain and the work is difficult, but we believe the goal and the structure are right. We hope this is what matters most to the best in the field.
>Because of AI's surprising history, it's hard to predict when human-level AI might come within reach. When it does, it'll be important to have a leading research institution which can prioritize a good outcome for all over its own self-interest.
>We're hoping to grow OpenAI into such an institution. As a non-profit, our aim is to build value for everyone rather than shareholders. Researchers will be strongly encouraged to publish their work, whether as papers, blog posts, or code, and our patents (if any) will be shared with the world. We'll freely collaborate with others across many institutions and expect to work with companies to research and deploy new technologies.
>>51822136
>OpenAI's research director is Ilya Sutskever, one of the world experts in machine learning. Our CTO is Greg Brockman, formerly the CTO of Stripe. The group's other founding members are world-class research engineers and scientists: Trevor Blackwell, Vicki Cheung, Andrej Karpathy, Durk Kingma, John Schulman, Pamela Vagata, and Wojciech Zaremba. Pieter Abbeel, Yoshua Bengio, Alan Kay, Sergey Levine, and Vishal Sikka are advisors to the group. OpenAI's co-chairs are Sam Altman and Elon Musk.
>Sam, Greg, Elon, Reid Hoffman, Jessica Livingston, Peter Thiel, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Infosys, and YC Research are donating to support OpenAI. In total, these funders have committed $1 billion, although we expect to only spend a tiny fraction of this in the next few years.
>inb4 this is good
No.
This is not a committee for development or research of AI primarily, it is for its control and they explicitly state that they will try and intervene, if it ever is created.
Elon Musk is now a front for the Government in the Tech Industry. Space X is helping NASA, His new battery compound/manufacturing business is partially relies on government funding and Tesla is largely dependent on Tax Breaks (not exemptions) and Government money. The gubmint will blackmail him, and the day AI is invented, you can be sure as hell that guy is gonna be dead and the tech is gonna be with the gubmint.
Plus, most of the "researchers" are PhD students who have had intensive internships at Google and Amazon, and have even helped develop image recognition software for google, and are vocal about it (Imagenet and shit).
Get ready to be fucked in the ass

Intended for users of all levels, including absolute beginners.
There are three ways to try Linux, you can:
1) Install a Linux OS on a VM (Virtual Machine/VirtualBox) for "safety purposes"
2) Use the Live ISO directly without installing anything, that way, you can get a "full Linux experience".
3) Go balls deep and overwrite everything with Linux (not recommended)
If you are serious about switching to Linux and if you have Windows dual-booted (recommended for pure newbies), we recommend you use it exclusively for 2 weeks, and avoid Windows dual booting for that period of time, or it's likely you will start retreating back to windows instead of getting used to Linux as your new home and working on making it feel the way you want it.
>Recommended for beginners:
-Ubuntu MATE
-Debian (For Broadcom devices, use an ISO that includes non-free firmware)
-openSUSE
-LinuxMint (a.k.a Ubuntu LTS + Cinnamon)
Before asking, please find the answers to your questions in resources.
Please be civil, notice the "Friendly" in every Friendly Linux Thread.
Understand that much of your software from Windows will be unavailable, although maybe wine can make up for it.

Why does /g/ dislike Linux Mint? It seems to add in useful stuff that other distros don't really bother to.
Linux MInt is better for beginners, im using it right now. What are the best DE and WM for Mint?
>>51822030
because they don't get to feel superior when they don't have to install it without a gui and shit doesn't break so they don't have to use the terminal
It does nothing better than Ubuntu.

How the mighty have fallen
He doesn't even know how to install linux
>>51821562
it's not really a problem for him. He doesn't care. Also, he's never installed GNU/Linux.
>>51821586
>he doesn't even know how to install GNU/Linux
installing Linux is kinda tough, even I just go with what the distro ships the majority of the time. Fuck compiling that shit, it's confusing to me with all the modules.
Is HyperThreading placebo?
I notice no difference with it on or off.
>>51821146
for some tasks it improves the speed, for some, it gets worse
>>51821146
Hyperthreading for modern games has no effect, yet. Future games will start to make use of the extra threads, which of course makes your cpu more future proof. Also hyperthreading offers less stuttering during high demanding games like witcher 3
Cannonlake will come without HT.
So yes, it's a meme-tech.
Why can open sores babbies only imitate successful commercial software, yet never have any innovation on their own? I have yet to see an open source software that is fundamentally better than its propietary counterpart.
Adobe Suite > Gimp, Krita, Kdenlive, Inkscape etc
Chrome > Firefox
OS X > Linux
Steam > ?
MS Office > Libreoffice
Mirc > Hexchat
Vuze > qbittorrent (does not even have an antivirus inbuilt)
Any antivirus program > ClamAV
Autocad > Whatever shitty open sores cad software there is
Ableton, FL Studio, Cubase > Audacity, Ardour
Windows Server > Linux
WinRAR > 7zip
TheBat!, Outlook > Thunderbird
Skype > Ekiga, Jitsi, Tox (lel)
TeamSpeak > Mumble (no one uses it)
Teamviewer > ?
NExtstep > Gnustep
Windows GUI > KDE
Mac OS X interface > GNOME
and so on and so forth. come and hit me with your best shot and try to show me an open sores program that is better than the orignal propietary software open sores thieves copied it from.
>open source sucks but hey, hell yeah lets stole other peoples cars! why not?

plenty of reasons, I'm sure you can figure one or two reasons out yourself if you think really hard.
